Carolina wrestling coach
Tommy Cox has a growing, young
wrestling program. But there are
no national championships, packed
.arenas or blue chip wrestlers in
terested in coming to Carolina,
simply because the program is
still in the club stage, funded out of
student activities fes with no
scholarships-.
The big issue is; Why isn't
wrestling funded by the athletic
department?
The womens athletic program is
now under the athletic department
and many people think the
wrestling program and other
minor sports should get some of the
money too.
"I think that within the next two

years we will be funded by the
athletic department and wrestling
will become an intercollegiate
sport at Carolina," said Cox. "But
we must stick together as a club.
"As far as women's athletics, I
am glad to see they have a chamce
because I think they deserve a
chance to participate in athletics,"
said Cox. "I think after their basic
needs are funded then minor sports
will begin getting funds too."
Last year's club operated with
$2,000, according to Cox, and at a
recent SAC budget meeting Cox
was confident his $4,000 request for
next year would win approval .
The team already has a good mat
and its own practice room. To a
great degree their needs have been
met. The idea of wanting to be big

money come in.
As far as the eream's level of
competition in the past, Cox said,
"Most colleges our size do have
wrestling teams sponsored by the
athletic department and they
participate on a intercollegiate
basis. There are not many colleges
that have wrestling clubs. Those
that. do are usually made up of
former Olympic champions or high
caliber-type athletes.
"We wouldn't stand a chance
against any school our size that
was funded by the athletic
department," said Cox, "The only
club we wrestled this year is
Clemson. We had a hard time
getting funds for this past year's
team. I went to the SAC committee
and finally to the Student Senate
and we got funds just in time."
